Joe to Joe TD. Nice.

Cheap shot

Cooking all of a sudden

Rare Boyd sighting

It’s not even the line, Burrow is just making bad decisions. Way overthinking things.

And the beat goes on…

No Tee, no Jonah again today.

Well, the oline seems to finally be coming together, so that’s something. Here’s Parker’s weekly breakdown thread:

I agree, but I kind of understand it. He’s an aggressive QB — and we want that! — and his “poison” is always going to lean toward the big play. I think you have to point a finger here at Taylor, too. He still thinks too much like a QB, too, when he needs to be the voice of patience in Burrow’s ear.

Get your popcorn ready…

As Amphar has pointed out, the quickest way for Burrow and the offense to improve is just to take what the defenses are giving them. If they’re selling out to stop the pass, run the ball from the shotgun (they did this last week with some success), check it down, dump it off, etc. Pick up a couple firsts that way, the D will have to come up and then you’ve got a shot. I know, everyone hates dink n dunk, me included. And everyone from Bob “bombs away” Bratkowski to Marvin “chunk plays” Lewis to Joe “Chase is down there somewhere” Burrow loves them the Big Play. But you need patience. Do the other stuff, it’ll come.

Looks like both Jonah (knee) and Tee (ankle) are question marks for Sunday.
